Keats Island rises from the Salish Sea like a slumbering emerald, its shores a mosaic of weathered driftwood and smooth, grey stones. It lies 21.7 km east-south-east of Sechelt, BC (from Sechelt, BC: bearing 111°T), and is situated 7.4 km north-west of Bowen Bay. Towering Douglas firs and cedars claw at the sky, their branches draped with moss that catches the diffused Pacific light, giving the air a damp, earthy scent. Sunlight, when it breaks through the persistent coastal mist, paints fleeting gold on the dense undergrowth and the quiet, winding trails that snake through the island’s interior. The gentle lapping of waves against the shore provides a constant, soothing soundtrack, punctuated only by the cry of gulls or the distant hum of a passing ferry. Once, this island was a place of seasonal gathering for the Coast Salish people, their presence hinted at in the ancient middens and the names of places whispered on the wind. Later, logging claims were staked, the echo of saws a temporary disruption to the profound silence. Today, Keats Island is a haven for those seeking a slower pace, a place where summer cabins dot the coastline and a small, year-round population tends to gardens and small holdings. The local economy, if it can be called that, is one of quiet self-reliance, fueled by the occasional visitor and the shared labour of neighbours. It’s a place where the rhythm of the tides dictates the day, and the true wealth lies in the enduring beauty of the natural world that surrounds Keats Island.
